Starmer to 'Root Out 14 Years of Rot' but 'Things Will Get Worse Before They Get Better'

[@jordanoneill3383]

Stop paying for illegal immigrants. Also stop sending billions to other countries. Mps should take a pay cut as well

[@drasticplasticaustin]

Kier Starmer is the king of cop out! He'll play and milk the blame card to the max when as an opposition they failed to hold the Tories to account for anything. Giving it like the mess they've inherited was an unexpected shock, get real! This is all a devious and strategic manipulation of circumstances, geared to letting itself off the hook whilst kicking the public financially and not giving a flying fig about some of its wildly skewed priorities.

[@michaelcope-fq7xp]

What's his policy on immigration then! ?

[@GrahamJackson-j2s]

What's his policy on anything?

[@PBI45]

In the manifesto for 2024 it's stated that hotel use for immigrants will be ended in favour of allowing them to work and pay tax, rather than them just sitting on their arses in the hotels not paying tax or working. Theoretically of course.

[@notjustforhackers4252]

Wrong question. You should be asking what his policy is on respecting a repeated democratic vote.

[@WalkiTalki]

I agree, the key to stopping these wild party swings in every democratic system at the moment will be for parties to self police. Its the criminal actions of individuals that spoil the perception of the party agendas. Starmer will not be taken seriously until this "rooting" starts with Labour.

[@michaelhoggarth89]

Shoplifting will get worse cos people are practically living on fresh air...Riots only get shown by UK people when it's far from just the UK people... Starmer NEEDS to ask the UK people that have been jailed..WHY are they so angry..!

[@chrysalis4126]

They are angry because the previous government sowed division by letting the backlog of immigrants get worse and worse, putting them in hotels instead of processing them and at the same time letting our services disintegrate knowing the immigration problem would get the blame instead of their underfunding. They spent so much money on contracts for their donor friends that every thing else was cut back including 20,000 police and we wonder why we have increased crime.

[@4adiarmuid]

because they dont have the lifestyle they think that comes on tik tok and facebook - they dont get reality do they that they have to graft not grift

[@davidcooks2379]

Starmer and civil service are the rot. Afuera!

[@williamthompson4389]

I seriously believe that when our PM makes a speech to the general public he should swear on oath. He has been known to to tell the odd lie but with his legal background he should have no fear of considering such a proposal.

[@rhysrail]

He has said more than a little lie, he called a 22bn cost a black hole and made a big deal about it and yes it sounds like a lot until you consider the government spends 1,200bn pounds a year and he most likely won’t even repay wherever the 22bn came from, I’m more applied by everyone’s stupidity to not realise this

[@Robert-zu2bi]

Labour getting their own back at the Conservatives for their speech in 2010 by Prime Minister David Cameron who said "the previous Labour government had refused to publish its own projections showing the escalating cost of interest. He argued that taxes should be spent on public services rather than paying interest on the national debt created by Labour". Also, an investigation conducted by Ministers of the then new Office of Budget Responsibility claimed they had found “black holes” in the budgets left behind by the outgoing Labour administration. Prime Minister David Cameron said there were signs of “crazy” spending decisions taken by Labour ministers in the final months of 2010 before they lost power. Fast forward 14 years and Labour is using precisely the same "story" as the Tories used :)

I would ring my local care and tell them I’m worried about the way I’m feeling and the things I’m thinking of doing and I’m told bring it up at your next meeting ( which is a non regular checkup) nhs 111 option 2 ( mental health) will just refer you back to your local service and let them know you’ve rang.

Americans, lacking basic English vocabulary, have started this silly habit of using verbs as nouns, as in " the big reveal" , which should be the big revelation. You are not an American and neither are the majority of your viewers. Please speak English!
